Just read its $969.959 billion copies sold.! What are you trying to tell us?? FFX has made $379,000? FFX has made 379,000 billion dollars? FFX has sold 969,959 billion copies? In any case - all are unrealistic! Where are your sources for this information?

Right, done some digging and here is the info I have found. Thus far FFX has sold 4 million copies worldwide. This information is from The GIA web-site and you can find the article here (http://www.thegia.com/news/0201/n30b.html).

Now working on the assumption that each copy of FFX retails for $40, this means FFX will have generated $160 million worldwide. Once you taken into account development costs, distribution costs, retail outlets share and so on I'll bet there won't be much of that $160 million left!

We can probably expect Europe to stick maybe another 2 million units sold on top of that. But it's clear it will never get anywhere near billions of units sold or revenue.

Dude, where do you get them for $40.00? They cost $50.00 here (Michigan), and all of my other friends from different places have told me it costs the same where they all live.

Dude, I live in the UK so I have *no* idea how much it costs in North America! I just working on a theoretical worldwide average price of $40. It may be more, it maybe less in other countries. I just thought $40 would be a nice price to illustrate that expected revenue would be in the 100's of millions and not billions like was originally stated.

If I had known it retailed for $50 then I would have used that figure.

Ok. I have no idea what the difference between Uk and US is. I was wondering, cause that sounded a little weird that it was selling for $40.00. But if it's like that in UK, that's cool.

Prices vary from country to country, and so does the dollar value. I bought FFX for $69.99, and that was on sale. Regularly it's $79.99. That's canadian dollars BTW.

Shouldn't it be $75.00 in Canada? Or did they just charge an extra $5.00? I noticed that my local Babbages was selling it for $55.00. What a rip off. :mad:

In some stores. Prices vary. Most places charge the extra 5 bucks though.
